Comparative Analysis of Latest Task Scheduling Techniques in Cloud Computing environment

Cloud computing is one of the most important services which is utilized by people all over the globe. It provides direct access to several computing components or services whenever required by the users over the internet such as servers, applications, storage, network. Task scheduling is a vital part in the field of the cloud environment. User requests i.e tasks are scheduled to certain resources at a specific instance of time. It mainly focuses to minimize the makespan and maximize the resource utilization. It is an NP-Complete problem. There are numerous existing heuristic techniques for task scheduling till now but more enhancement and modification is needed for better performance and to increase the efficiency of task scheduling. In this paper, few latest task scheduling techniques have been reviewed and their performances were analyzed in terms of various metrics.
